A women?s bantamweight division attraction has been added to UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Till as Bethe Correia faces Yanan Wu.
It was Correia who announced the news through Instagram, while also revealing that the UFC re-signed her so the fighter can have her retirement bout in the promotion:
Correia (11-5-1) has won just two of her last eight under the UFC banner with those wins coming over Jessica Eye and Sijara Eubanks. Correia has previously challenged for the UFC women?s bantamweight title, losing to then champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 190. Correia has competed 17 times as a professional MMA fighter and 12 of those bouts went the distance.
Wu (11-3-0) has won just one of three in the UFC, with that lone victory coming over Lauren Mueller at UFC Fight Night Beijing. Wu has suffered three losses as a professional MMA fighter and all of them came to past/current UFC fighters. Wu has picked up seven of her pro MMA wins by way of KO/TKO, while another two came by submission.
UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Till is set for Saturday, December 5 from a location to be announced with Jack Hermansson and Darren Till headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, while broadcast plans have yet to be announced.
